Facebook will integrate a feature into its Android and iOS apps whichwill allow users to send voice clips alongside regular chat messages.
The feature will be available in a free update to its messenger app this
Thursday. Users can send a voice message by tapping the existing +
symbol and holding down the new record button until the message is over.
Previews of the app show a user sending directions in a 42 second voice
clip, removing the need for more lengthy text-based messages.
